Hundreds of people gathered at the Ontario legislature on Monday to protest a new bill they say would make it easier for landlords to evict tenants when COVID-19 restrictions ease. Mughal said the bill would enable landlords to evict tenants who have been unable to pay rent during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Angelina King/CBC)Carly Tisdall, a tenant, said the bill is in favour of landlords and robs her of any legal defence. Advocates for tenants say Bill 184, known as the Protecting Tenants and Strengthening Community Housing Act, would provide a number of new ways for landlords to evict and collect unpaid rent from current and past tenants. Bill 184 would allow landlords to cut the board out of the equation and offer tenants their own repayment plan.
